BRACE RETROFITTING BEARING WALL METHOD AND STRUCTURE OF PANEL CONSTRUCTION METHOD BUILDING

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a brace retrofitting bearing wall method and a structure of a panel construction method building, which allow reconstruction to be carried out while residents live in the building and make a panel frame of an existing non-bearing wall panel into a bearing wall panel by adding a brace even if the panel frame of the existing non-bearing wall panel cannot sufficiently bear a load from the added brace.SOLUTION: A brace retrofitting bearing wall method of a panel construction method building makes an existing non-bearing wall panel 1 into a bearing wall panel. This method includes following processes: to remove an exterior face material 5 and a heat insulation material 12 from the non-bearing wall panel 1; to connect a reinforcing plate 13 by a fastening tool 14 to upper and lower ends of a vertical frame material 3 that is exposed by the removing process; to fit a brace 15 with gusset plates 16 on both ends to upper and lower ends of the vertical frame material 3; to dispose the heat insulation material 12 inside a panel frame 2; and to fit the exterior face material 5 to the panel frame 2.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
